Description
This is a very open walk with ever changing views as it meanders across moorland, passing several lochs. In the more sheltered areas there is an abundance of bog myrtle... they say that a really effective midge repellent would have bog myrtle as its basic ingredient... but you should still have your current favourite brand if here July-Sept! This is a good family walk to have a day at a quiet, secluded beach. No special footwear needed.
